Abstract

The Earth Hologenome Initiative is a global collaboration to generate and analyse hologenomic
data from wild animals and associated microorganisms using standardised methodologies underpinned by open and inclusive research principles. Initially focused on vertebrates, it aims
to reexamine ecological and evolutionary questions by studying host-microbiota interactions
from a systemic perspective.
